A quick converter for CCS v4

Hi,

Does the CCS v4 have a quick converter eg like to convert between decimal/hexadecimal/binary?

Like Microchip's:

 

Sorry, I'm a recent switcher from Microchip to TI, just familiarizing around actually.

 

Thanks.

    You can use the Windows calculator instead. It also allows switchig between different number formats. And do calculations too.
    (Well, I don't use it too, but because I have a physical calculatior with these capabilities on my desk - it doesn't eat screen space)

    Depending on what format you are looking for you can enter a number in the Expressions view and then right click on it and change the number format.  That will only work while you are in a debug session.

    Alternatively you could install one of a number of Eclipse calculator plug-ins.  For CCSv4 make sure that the plug-in will work with Eclipse 3.2 or earlier.  CCSv5.1 is based on Eclipse 3.7.  I downloaded this one: http://mac.softpedia.com/get/Math-Scientific/Ecalculator.shtml and extracted it into the \eclipse\dropins folder of my CCSv5.1 beta install and it seems to work ok.  For CCSv4.2 you would need to drop the contents of the plugins and features folders into the matching folders in CCS.

    Personally I just use the windows calculator.

    Hi guys,

    Can I get a more specific location to drop in the folders? Coz I get three folders when I extract the .zip file, and the my directory doesn't have the eclipse\dropins as suggested? What I see is eclipse\(plugins or configuration or jre folders and stuff) kinda thing... 

     

    Thanks for your time.

    The contents of the "plugins" folder in the zip need to go inside your ccsv4\eclipse\plugins folder of your install.  Similarly the contents of the "features" folder in the zip need to go in the ccsv4\eclipse\features folder of your install.  I don't think you need that mac OS folder. 

    Shutdown CCS

    copy in the files

    start CCS

    You can find the calculator from the view -> Other menu and search for ecalculator

    Hi John S,

    Thanks a lot. All worked like a charm. I need this since my netbook screen is small (not to mention the speed), and putting on extra window tabs is a pain.

    Here's how small the screen is: (but still I can minimize it and use it when I need to do so.)
